Vitamin World also carries them. But as stated they are truly disgusting. You may try freezing them and eating them with a spoon. They do pack a whopping amount of protein though. Worldwide which is at Trader Joes, GNC, and Vit World also is a descent protein shake. It was the most tolerable of the group. It comes in 2 different counts of protein. There is one with 22 grams and one with 35 I believe. The cookies and cream flavor is the best.

You can get them at GNC, or I got mine at bariatriceating.com They are super nasty. I have to hold my breath and basically drink them like a shot, and have a water chaser. They are really thick However the 42g of protein is worth it for me. Good luck. Just don't expect some fruit flavored good tasting thing. however, I do not mind the taste of the Isopure ready to drink bottles. they have 40g of protein and only 160 cal per bottle. The are not wonderful but they are the least offensive protein drinks I've found. good luck.

Well, I never 'drank' them.. I used the 42g, and I shot half at a time.. like you would do alcohol, and chased it with something pleasant (or just water). It tastes like a weirdo nasty koolaid if you actually 'drank' it.. but.. I wouldn't recommend drinking them. It's only 3oz in the whole thing, so 1.5oz is a shot.

I thought they were nasty. I have read that you can't really use much more than 30 or 35 grams of protein at a time.

I have been using NEW Whey Protein drinks in the 42gram and 176 Calories from GNC. I love the flavors Grape and Fruitpunch. They are great for snack times drinking half in the morning hours and half in the afternoon really gives you a boost on protein not to mention they make you feel completely full for a long time.

I prefer the nectar protein drinks. I have had strawberry kiwi and caribbean cooler. They are the least expensive I have found so far and they taste pretty good. They have 23 grams of protein, only 90 calories, no carbs and no sugar. The flavors available are apple ecstasy, strawberry kiwi, lemonade, caribbean cooler (tastes like pina colada), fuzzy navel, twisted cherry, cappucinno latte, lemon tea and crystal sky (blue raspberry). They are only $27.95 for 2 lbs right now at SAVEONSUPPLEMENTS.COM: The lowest prices on BSN EAS CYTOSPORT ISOPURE LABRADA MET-RX MUSCLETECH NUTREX PRO-RX PROLAB. The shipping was pretty reasonable, too.
Someone I talked to said she mixes the caribbean cooler with a chocolate protein drink and loves it! I don't care for pina colada, but the blue raspberry is my next one. The protein amount is lower than most of the ones mentioned here, but it is tolerable to drink. Plus, if you have one of those every day in addition to any other protein you might have in cottage cheese, eggs, etc. it won't take long to get it all in. Or find two of these you like and have two per day!

I don't think the portein bullets are bad, on the other hand Isopure makes me gag and run for the bathroom. Unjury wasn't much better. Oh Yeah is good, but less protein
